Okay. Okay. No, it was this video of it was like shit that, um, shit that dudes get into in their 40s.

And he's like, oh. And then he goes like to another thing and it's just like all these like, it'll be be like like Emperor Nero of Rome and he'll be like, whoa, what is this? And one of them, Jack was e-birding. E-birding?

Yeah, using the Merlin app to fucking idyllic. That was one of the washed 40 year old man activities. And I was like, is this a fucking thing? Like really that it was seems memeable? Yeah. Holy shit. When I saw that, I was like, oh, I didn't realize I thought in my own way, I thought you were cool. But you're like, no, he'd be doing that shit nobody's fucking with every only 40 year old white man. Oh, shit. OK.

I found out about it at our meeting, the 40 year old white man. All right. Let's look at our. Yeah, let's look at our agenda really quick. New e-burning apps. This new e-burning app that you're going to tell people about. It's really important that we get the word out about this e-burning app. Yeah. Animal anecdotes. You can tell your kids at the zoo. That'll be after that. If anyone's got any good ones, that's what we'll be hearing those.

We did elephants last week, so this will we'll try and keep it to sort of amphibious animals. Few good Wikipedia rabbit holes that we just discovered that we're going to be sharing amongst amongst ourselves. And what what shorts are we wearing this summer? Like how short? What's the short man? And what shorts are we wearing this summer, boys? Like how short? What's the short, man?

Honestly, a real question that I have heading into every summer. I've gone short this summer, Miles. And the 40-something white guy meeting is a buzz. It's very controversial. Wait, are you wearing short shorts right now? How short are we getting? How many inches? But you don't got to now? Sure, do we get how many inches? Oh

That ain't nothing bro. Well, that looks like six That's six five setting five Walk back you guys lift your leg go back. There you go. Oh, nah, that's that ain't five, bro. Oh He's hiking them. Oh, he's showing Jack showing us parts that are part of the show. OK, I mean, it's it's a bit of a tan line. So it's short for me. And I go out, I take a walk down the street.

I'm expecting people to be scandalized. Yeah. I'm expecting people to be scandalized. Yeah. I'm like looking at the cars. Uh huh. Oh fuck. Yeah. There's a, I got a pair of, uh, five and a half inch shorts, like in seam shorts from like a, sorry, your house burned down like gift bag. When I wear those, I feel a little self conscious when I go pick my kid up.

I'm like, I mean, you know They could check out the thigh tat, but it's it's definitely it's up there. It's all there thirst trap Yeah, like it feels a little histrionic What I when I rocked a five and a half like I like I'm trying to be like, you know What time it is y'all look at these quads, baby. Yeah, those are tattoos on them. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Mm-hmm. I'm not your ordinary dad. No I might be a slutty dad. I'm not your ordinary dad. No, I'm a slutty, I'm a slutty 40 year old dad. All right.

And your slutty dad t-shirt doesn't help. Dude, it's so, there actually is a slut dad shirt that Rosie got me. My brother-in-law got me a t-shirt from this co-op in Brooklyn. It's like a grocery store called that bad wife and, um, or the bad wife. And whenever I wear it, my, my in-laws are like, what's up with the shirt, man? Yeah.

Fuck that's supposed to me. Yeah. I liked it better when people used to just say, fuck you to your face. You know, taking it. Yes. We're putting it on a t-shirt these days.

Sir Daily Nightcase! Oh my god, you got the Doppler effect. That was me, yeah, exactly. I just fell by his microphone at terminal velocity. I hit the fucking nausea on my Honda Prelude as I just kept screaming back. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles. Yeah. What a weekend. What a weekend.

We dress like a park gave her majesty diarrhea. That's how bad that movie was. Which one? Jurassic Park. Oh, I've heard that's a common side effect. Yeah, I was. I I was teasing her that I was gonna say this today, but now that I'm in and I have to go for it,

she was just like, she didn't have diarrhea, but she said something about her stomach when we left the movie. And I go, oh my God, the movie was so bad, it gave you diarrhea. Just like saying that very out loud like an idiot. Outside the theater. And she's like, no, what are you talking about? And then she kind of leaned into it as a bit.

And I was just like, I said, on Monday, I'm gonna tell people that Jurassic Park was so bad, it gave you diarrhea. It wasn't bad. One of those times it's good that you only refer to her as her majesty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't terrible.

It was, it's fine. It's like it's fine. It I think like as somebody who because they love the first Jurassic Park so much and has seen every subsequent one and been like, what the fuck is? What the fuck's going on with this every time that I'm always prepared to be like, it's going to be bad. So really, it's just about like the oh, it's going to bite you. It's going to bite you. It's going to bite you. It's going to bite you. That's like kind of what the like the sensation

of watching these Jurassic Park movies are. It's almost like, oh, your legs dangling. It's going to get oh, you got it out in time. It didn't get bit. It didn't get real jaws. Real jaws energy. Yeah. It was like Jaws 2 was just people like sitting on a boat with their leg dangling, being shot from underneath. It's like, oh, oh, get it out. Oh, thank God. Thank God. Anyway, so not worth it. Where's it rank? Up there with like the lost world? What's the... near the top? Or it's a drop in the bucket of Jurassic Park's sequels? It just, yeah, yeah, it's amorphous. It leaves no lasting memory on the human brain.

Except for this one, there's like mutated ones, and I'm like, these are just monsters now. It's like a Jurassic Park flavored LaCroix. That's like- I guess, in a way. We're like, oh! Comes and goes. Wait, I think- Yeah. Oh. No, yeah. No, I lost it. We think, oh, no. Yeah. Oh, no.

I lost it. Like trying to remember. All right. Dibba, dap, dap, dap. This is the this is the podcast where we tell you stuff that was trending over the weekend. We've got a lot of steam shit to get through with our president, the president of the United States

and a convicted sex offender who was his best friend for many years, uh, weird, weird story. Um, so we'll talk about that, but, uh, first we like to get to know each other a little bit better by telling you stuff we think is underrated and overrated. And miles I'd love to ask you what's something you think is underrated. Underrated. What? Oh, dude. Okay. Have you seen any Mets home game broadcasts?

I think I saw a shot. Okay. So the director of SNY is like broadcast director of the Mets home games, this guy named John John DiMarcico and he does like very, very cinematic sort of like his directing, like doubling up shots. Let me just, I'll show it here. There's there, there's one video that can kind of give you a flavor. If you haven't seen it, I really suggest you check it out because he likes to cover baseball games like they are like feature films, like see these cross dissolves he does like he does like homages to Western's

Brian DePalma, sort of like multi layered shots showing you the pitcher, the batter, a wide shot. It's just like really, really, really dope. It's like a steady cam coming in like it's. Yeah, it's so yeah, it's like a tight, a tight zoom on some eyes. Oh, yeah. Even do a little bit of a filter just again. I think because when you watch baseball, you're like, yeah, here's you see the same shot.

It's from behind the pitcher. Here it comes. Here's the wide shot after the hit. Like he's just doing just that little bit of effort because he's really enjoying himself. I think he's just doing just that little bit of effort because he's really enjoying himself. I think he's really fantastic. Just like because we're at a go for broke era of baseball where they're like, I don't know, man, people just barely watch this shit anymore. Let's see if we can't do something weird.

Yeah. Like there's this one shot he did. Someone had a Statue of Liberty hat and then he recreated that like Planet of the Apes like shot. Oh my God. Just with the baseball. You know, like, anyway, it's just really fun. And I think he's getting more attention to classic cinema. Yeah, exactly. Planet of the Apes classic. And I think I think we can I think

we can anything before look who's talking now. We will consider a classic cinema. But yeah, I just I think it's really dope. And I just love to see somebody who's like, here's your normal, like a job where you think there's really nothing you can do creatively to make it cooler. And this guy's like, yeah, watch this shit. I got cameras. I'm a director. Watch this. There does seem to be a general idea that like baseball is in its.

Like waning days and there are like things that they need to try to spice things up just across the board. I remember hearing that during the off season, they were considering something called the golden at bat. Did you hear about this where like you could, you had one at bat in any game that you could just like bring up whoever you want it to from your team. Just like, Oh, like so show me, you would just like bring him up. I show his actually going to bat now.

Yeah, exactly. Which is fun. I don't know. Like for a sport that's like so focused on like the purity of like historical data and all that stuff, it's kind of wild to be like, and one of them has to do spinny bat in exchange for the golden. You put your forehead on the bat. You got to go around 10 times. The other person needs to do a spinny bat once. And then the pitcher is able to throw one thing that isn't a baseball.

You don't know when it's going to be. You don't know when it's going to be. Oh, cupcake! Uh-oh! But if you obliterate it, it's a home run. I mean, yeah, they is. They talk all the time about how like they're having so much, like it's harder to get younger people into baseball. Yeah. This is a great, this is my favorite way I've seen anybody do it is just like get cinematic, just be like, what, what if we made it, what if we just like put a crazy amount of thought and effort and artistic inspiration into this thing

that you've been taking for granted. Exactly. Exactly. I love it. One thing that's underrated is my ability to remember. Oh, sorry. That was a clip of Andrew Schultz on the Flagrant Podcast wondering why everyone's blaming him that he voted for Trump. Oh, no. Yeah. He's having a really hard time right now. Fuck, man. You really hate to hear that.

Just because I had him on? Like, he's doing something. It's like a really pathetic video. And smiled and said he was cool. Yeah. And said I was voting for him no matter what. Yeah. But one thing that's underrated, I forgot to turn on my recording.

So my audio just picked up four minutes ago. Oh, that's like when TV broadcast went to color. And now we flip the switch and here's your good mic. Now you can actually hear me. Or maybe it didn't sound like anything at all. Shout out to super producer Ian. I'm the ones in two. Helping make up for my mistakes.

My underrated Wikipedia, my nine yearold discovered Wikipedia this weekend. He's going through like a real military worship phase. And I answered one of his questions by going to Wikipedia. And he was immediately like, Whoa, what was that? What is this? I think he was like, what is that app? And then like immediately was like, how long has that existed who made it and like is can I just like Wikipedia? Which is a good idea like if someone just had like a Kindle that was just Wikipedia and Yeah, you could just go anywhere you want it on Wikipedia and just like sell it door-to-door like a fucking

Encyclopedia Britannica, I feel like that would fucking kick ass. I wonder if there is, I think, can you get it on the Kindle? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. I'm gonna figure that out. I mean, because they have the app, like you could just use like a, you could just like make a,

like an iPad have very little functionality except for it to have Wikipedia on it. Right. Yeah. Just like block all the apps. Or Jack, I don't know. You got a printer and a shit load of paper. That's right.

Well, that's how I go through, you know, our, our show doc, as you know, I just have an assistant printed out for me, uh, all emails, you know, style, Hillary. Jack's assistant is Jack puts on a backwards baseball cap. Yeah, yeah. Right away, boss. And skateboard around, but usually fall badly. But yeah, right now we're trying to hold at three Wikipedia searches a day, which is kind of fun, because then we get to like talk about which ones we should look up and like have conversations about because otherwise it would just be, that's all we'd be doing is here.

Could you look up this and could you look up this? Right, right, right. This battleship and what the armaments were like. I can't wait to see your kids. I'm like, you know, it's really cool guys. Chat GPT. Watch this. I'll just ask it.

It's like your dad. You just ask it to look it up stuff. Wait, so what is he, he's just looking up military stuff now? Like those are the main sort of pieces of information he was after? Yeah, yeah, like military ships, World War II military ships.

There's this show on, I think it's like the History Channel called Drain the Ocean, where they're like, imagine if we could drain the ocean and look at these like military wrecks and like take a look back and they- Probably a lot in the Pacific theater or all like that.

A lot of Pacific theater. He's got a whole book of Japanese naval ships. I too were a boy who loved battleships in the Pacific theater. Yes. He's obsessed. The Midway Islands, can we go? No. No, I don't think that's gonna be what obsessed. The midway islands. Can we go? No, no, I don't think that's gonna be what you think it's going to be.

Um, but yeah. And then just as always wild, that the only truly great thing created by the internet is like completely divorced from all of the bullshit and like banner ads. And it's just like community driven yeah they just beg for money and are community driven because like that's the only way for this give a money good give a money they're like one of the few things on the internet you're like yep you're I've I've used you for many a many a paper from so I'm telling you if they just sold a device that was called wicked, like Wikipedia and it was just, you know, a block, like a, a iPad shaped thing, only had Wikipedia.

I feel like they do really well. I feel like they can sell some of those. What's wrong with just the old fashioned encyclopedia just cause it doesn't have the breadth of knowledge contained in like the So he would go down to the armaments that that's what he's like What what did the guns look at what the guns do on that thing? We'd go down and then like you could click on that and go to a whole page about those guns, right? And it's development how it works. Yeah Just go deep then you can click on the ammunition and then now you've got side, like cross diagrams.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to tell my kid there were no wars and there are no wars just to avoid those conversations completely. Tell the kids the truth. Also Alex G is a musician I like, just a kind of earnest one, but he just dropped his major label debut after like a decade of being an indie artist. He was like a baby when he did that Frank Ocean stuff. I feel like, I know.

Yeah. Yeah. He worked on blonde. Like I found it. I forget. Like I just heard this one song called, uh, immunity is 32. Oh my God. He's like still a child and has been making music since he was like 15 and a lot of like the songs he made when he was like

15 and 16 are like still the most listened to ones right presumably because by other 15 and 16 year olds and It's good. It has like an Elliot Smith vibe. Yeah, you have to have bedroom, DIY, and energy. His new albums. Good. But yeah, it was wild. I was getting really into him and then randomly learned that he worked on Blonde. I was like, what did he work on?

He worked on Self Controlcontrol and white Ferrari. Two of the best songs on that album. I was like, God damn. He's playing at the Greek in September, Jack. Is he? Yeah, 26th and 27th. I got to go. Maybe we have to go and pray they don't do a kiss cam at the show.

A lot of people had some questions about that image that we shake out of us on the camera. Sorry. We will talk about the immediate ruining of that new story in reference by corporate America. But first, Miles, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated, I think I may have mentioned this, maybe not an overrated or underrated. If I have, I apologize. But kids acting like they're middle-aged adults during summer break is there's, so I live near this like cafe.

That's just a very seamy type of place in LA. And like, you know, it's like where people in the industry will go to do lunch and shit. It's like, no, meet you over there. Really? Yeah. Well, they've got everything to get coffee or you won't like whatever you want, like wine.

They have it too. And since schools gotten out, there are always like these young kids, like mostly like 12 year old girls who are like doing lunch. Like they're like acting out this sort of like very adult behavior of like they're sitting there, they're on their phones,

they're talking loudly on their phones, but they're like, oh, I'm at lunch with Hannah and Melissa right now Yeah, yeah, like let me call you back. We're doing yeah, we're at lunch. Yeah, like talking like high school deals Yeah, like that kind of energy, you know, like really embodying that and I can tell that's what they're doing because like they're drinking like Peligro you're drinking Pellegrino at 12. Yeah. No, you aren't. You like to look like you don't give a fuck. Pellegrino tastes like shit when you're 12 years old. Don't give me that. You are dying for Orangina. Let's be real.

Okay. Pellegrino at 12 is wild. It's just like, you know what I mean? So I see them and I see this and then I'll see these other kids. Then they're like, I'm going to actually go get a coffee next door. I don't like the coffee here. What the fuck are y'all talking about? And then like, then I'll see like these other kids. Like then they're like, do like, I'm going to actually go get a coffee next door. I don't like the coffee here. What the fuck are y'all talking about?

So when I see it, I'm just like, pardon me. I'm like, whatever. That's just like LA for some kids. But I remember like kind of wanting to kind of be like a hot shit kind of teenager or whatever, but that didn't really hit to like, maybe I was like 17 or something when I was like, yeah, let's go fucking over here to fucking be seen or whatever. Earlier and earlier every day miles. I know I'm talking about this at my white person, my, my white 40 something year old

guy the other day. And so I'm just like, I'm like, y'all just should be acting fucking goofy. You know, like you will have plenty of time to look unhappy while eating an overpriced lunch in your adult years. Drink a fucking bucket of soda, fucking throw a bunch of water balloons at each other. You go do that shit like pretending you're already washed at 12. And like you got shit to do is so fucking whack to me.

Go go fucking go be goofy. Please. Yeah. I'm really trying to like steer my kids in that direction. Like, completely away from social media. But also like, I do feel like there's a certain type of parent that like wants their kids to be cool and not in like the cool of like, just deeply like cool and appreciates, like has interesting interests and stuff like that, but like be accepted by their Peers kind of you know, I don't do that. I'm cool. I'm just like that's I don't know that is not what cool is That yeah, exactly. I think that's what you people fundamentally

Misunderstand when people are like, oh that person is cool or whatever people usually like that They don't give a fuck about what you think Yeah, that's actually what you're reading into like really people who are like damn that person they're not fucking they're not trying they're not Democratic partying it up their whole swag to be like let me triangulate how I look some people do obviously a lot of people do you can tell because people look like like the five versions of fashion that exists on tick-tock or like Instagram and people

like subscribe to those sort of styles. But just teach your kids to not give a fuck. You know what I mean? Be you. That shit is that's a kid. I fully agree with that. I feel like I've seen that more in L.A. than other places. I'm wondering if like that is as common elsewhere, but like kids wanting to be like their parents, kind of like wanting to act older. Uh, it feels like kind of an LA thing more, more so.

But I guess it's also like, there was that joke on, um, on girls five, have a, about like lonely Brooklyn boys, like children who are like raised in Brooklyn and just like immediately have the soul of like a 47 year old New Yorker reader. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, at least you can, there's a little bit of depth where they're like, I was reading Faulkner at nine or something. You know what I mean? Like these kids are like, I was looking at a cell phone drinking espresso at eight and you're like, that's not going to help you with anything. No, my overrated, again, I think I've done this one before, but everything they use AI for until they fix spell check. Like we insist on like making it right screenplays or, you know, answer questions in a conversational manner.

And yet, like they, my spell check insists that I'm trying to type ducking over and over again. Yeah. But then has no clue what I'm trying to say. When I say they want in a Lang slide, they're like, what Lang slide? Flummox. No suggestions over here. Yeah. It.

What the fuck else could it be? Google, the one on Google is absolute trash sucks shit. We're reading this I'm reading this off of a Google Doc that still has a red line under Lang siled and Blank siled it it could make maybe things it's you're talking about like a city in Scandinavia, right? That's probably what it is. Yeah, it does It's just like a thing that it's, it's a good reflection of the thing we talk about a lot on here that nothing is built for people. It's all built for corporate investors. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like the, the use of spell check, like spell check, being able to tell what you meant and like filling that in quickly is a thing that would make actual people's lives so much easier, more convenient, and instead they're ignoring that and busily like trying to create a

thing that will auto magically write a screen. Yeah, exactly. There's times like when I'll miss spell like the with like THR or something like a key that's maybe just next to the E. Yeah. And it'll be like, huh? The fuck is this guy on? What the fuck do you think I'm trying? It's obviously the.

Right. Whatever. It can anticipate what you mean well enough to hold a conversation with you, because that is monetizable, but it can't do it when it comes to spell check, because that doesn't really make anybody any money. That's a free feature. It's a free trick. We've taken that one for granted. All right, let's take a quick break.

The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone.

In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent

on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional

programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you.

And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to Shock Incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it was a, it was a news full weekend for people who for whatever reason are still paying attention to this Epstein thing. Um, the, so I remember seeing like on Thursday night, somebody being like, there's a, there's a bombshell coming from like a major paper, a major news organization, and that bombshell was a story from the wall street journal.

That was like, we've seen this note that Trump may have written for Epstein's 50th birthday, which included an imaginary conversation. It's just like. Very, very strange. Yeah, it's freaky. It's so freaky. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that should probably happen. I don't know. Yeah, sure.

Sure. These are the two fucking creepiest people in America in recent memory but I guess there I wish they showed the card I know I don't know why they're not showing the card it's yeah anyway it was first what 50th birthday or something for 10 billion dollars there's a uh for a libel lawsuit uh there's a story on the front page of the New York Times on this Monday morning being like, this is the thing that turned the tide for Trump because it's like, you guys shut up over there at the New York Times because I guess they're like he, his followers are like a letter. This, this all seems too silly to like it it has the energy of like

something that they could call fake news and so it feels like that is what they were just desperately looking for an excuse to stop paying attention to this and the thesis of the New York Times article is like this is the thing where they're like oh okay a birthday card real. It was like enough for them. That sounds like it's written in the voice of Donald Trump. Right. Oh, wow. What else is next? A little receipt that I wrote that showed that I bought

all these whatever incriminating items that you can tie to a case. I mean, the thing was like, it was a drawing of like a naked lady and his signature was meant to be like the pubic hair. And then like it was signed, happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret along with a really creepy support like weird back and forth.

Yeah. Like a piece of dialogue between Trump and Epstein that is voiceover. There must be more to life than having everything. Donald. Yes, there is. But I won't tell you what it is. Like, it's a fucking like Brooke Shields jeans ad, like which would. It's a fucking time machine. I know. Well, that was like that's one of the most startling works of like

just straight up sexual sexual like pervert Yeah, pedophilia ever but anyway, yeah, I don't know what it is nor will I since I also know what it is Says Jeffrey Donald. We have certain things in common Jeffrey Jeffrey. Yes, we do come to think of it Donald enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? Yes, we do come to think of it Donald enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? Jeffrey as a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you Donald a pal is a wonderful thing Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret Yikes calm backslash. These guys are fucking pedophiles. Yes. I never wrote a picture in my life was the

definitive, you know retort from Donald Trump of the New York Times is like, case closed, this guy's turning the tides of this argument. So anyways, that that was like one of the stories that got a lot of attention. But there's other things that came out that are like that. And by the way, I will say that seems like very damning to me. I don't know. Like, it's weird that they didn't print the image and right like I don't know how They're going to prove that it definitely was him So but if they actually go to court on it, but like that definitely feels. Oh, yeah that that shit was him and

That's like well, especially when he's like, I don't he's like that is not what I do. That's not the language I use I don't you I never draw I don't like drawings I'm not good at drawings and then everyone's like look at all these fucking weird doodles this one does of Cities, whatever. I mean, I think again, I think it's just more like yeah I know you don't have to prove to me that he He knows Jeffrey Epstein by being like and here's a card. We're like, yeah We've seen fucking video and there's like video testimony. Yeah, so Dick Durbin Sent a letter

specifically referring to the fact that FBI agents reviewing the Epstein case were quote, instructed to flag any documents that mentioned president Donald Trump. And that was like recent. That was like, so basically the timeline on that is that Pam Bondi said, like we are looking at these files, people had questions and then they like brought a bunch of people in to review the Epstein files and flag anywhere that his name was mentioned. How about we, it might be easier to flag the pages where he's not mentioned. Right, could we do that?

That would just, just sort of like a work smarter, not harder kind of thing. If that's okay, Mr. or Ms. Bondi, Director Bondi, Attorney General Bondi, please. After intense blowback from this incident, Attorney General Bondi then appeared on another Fox News show, Life Liberty 11, and claimed that a whistleblower told her that the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office was sitting on thousands of pages and documents and that we will get everything and she was assured there is more and that the country would eventually see the full Epstein files.

Durbin said his office had learned that after that, the FBI was pressured to put approximately 1000 personnel, 1000 people in its information management division on 24 hour shifts to review approximately 100,000 Epstein related records in order to produce more documents that could then be released on an arbitrarily short deadline. That's like the, that's the most clear, straightforward. She said, we've got them. We're going to share them. Somebody was like, Oh shit shit the president's in them

Go find the ones he's in and like those this is it's look It's not that big of a deal, but I need 1000 human beings on 24-hour shifts going through these fucking pages Jesus I mean, I mean that's what as much as they want to do stuff like in the New York Times like oh yikes This was a whiff. Sorry, RIP, the obscene story. I don't know. I mean, like, sure, eventually the momentum is going to die down. But I don't know what exactly they're what they could possibly release, because I know

Trump still keeps kind of making gestures as if he wants to unseal grand jury stuff. But their base, especially like they want to see Bill Clinton's name. Yeah. That's like what they want. That's really this whole party is about him and Barack Obama. They're like, give us that part so we can do the Guantanamo Bay. We can Guantanamo Bay them. Like we've been promised. There was also just a bunch of like profiles of Trump and Epstein's friendship that came

out over the weekend. One of the anecdotes that really jumped out to me was there was this calendar girl competition is what they were calling it. So it's like there's that 1992 video where it's like a Mar-a-Lago party where Trump's like dancing with women and like Epstein's there and Epstein's here Yeah, yeah, he's he's telling Epstein little jokes that cause Epstein to like fall over laughing clearly like the best of friends So months after that Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition. Mr. Epstein was the only other guest, according to George Harini,

a Florida-based businessman who arranged the event. I said, Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You're telling me it's just you and Epstein? Yep. What? Yeah. Yeah. There's like every there. I don't know, man. It just seems like it doesn't.

It Yeah, it really doesn't. There's also so now there's a guy like I do feel like this is just going to keep coming out like I don't know how this doesn't lead to bigger and bigger things unless everybody who supports Trump just like gets on the same page and is like, nah, everything these people are saying is a lie. But like, it's just like one after another. Like there's a guy who used to be his like pit boss in Atlantic City who was like had to stop them from bringing somebody on the floor because you know, because she was 19. Yeah.

And the only reason that they knew that was because she was like the number three ranked tennis player in the world. And like one of the people who worked there was like a big tennis fan. And so like, yeah, that's so who knows like what the other ages were? That's, but like, that's a thing. He was like, yeah, but as far as I knew, the entire four years that I worked there, they were straight up best friends.

Right, yeah. I mean, there's this, we'll see what's gonna happen because right now there's clearly a lot happening behind the scenes with Fox, then there's his son Lacklin, who really has more of like control over Fox News, and whether or not like the debt, like there's going to be warring factions within the family of people who are like, well, this is like stuff we're going to publish, we don't give a shit. And other people were like, we want Trump to be number one. So we'll do what we can.

Because we already saw how everybody started switching up on Fox to the point where like people on you know uh like Newsmax and other channels were like oh they're bending the knee so I don't know I don't know what this means I'm sure at some point like anything there'll always be like people who start making noise on the fringes and then they kind of start pressing them and then they're like okay okay, okay, okay, okay, we'll stop, we'll stop, we'll support this. But I, hey, look, there's another week ahead. So we shall see how they react to all the fucking terrible, terrible things that come to light. But I like the idea that the New York Times just like posted stories was like Trump is turning the tides. It's like, according to him, like he came out and was like my popularity has surged to

Unseen Heights on godly levels. Yeah, it's the Epstein Hooks he said stuff like 97% approval rating. Yeah, it seems reasonable. That seems right to me I'm like, would you pull one person and then you did them? reasonable. That seems right to me. I'm like, would you pull one person and then you did them with a margin of error, error of 3%. You're like, well, okay. So that's 97. There we go. Killing it. String music. You hear chamber music? No, that's just this. That's just the net going swish.

Anyways, those are, those are the ones. I mean, there's all sorts of just fucking horrifying anecdotes of like Epstein brings in somebody who's working on a project who's like a, I think a woman or early twenties and Trump immediately starts groping her and Epstein's like, no, no, no, no. That's not the context here. She's not for you, but like clearly just like an animal relationship was that like abstinence is like brings women to him. Right. Also, like assumed that there was. Some better explanation, like something somebody had looked into, like why he was given like

complete control over that guy's finances, the Victoria's secret, like a hundred millionaire billionaire. Um, and there's just like the New York times like brings that up now and they're like, yeah, nobody really ever figured it out. So, Oh, like why he assumed financial control. Yeah. It's just like the whole thing seems very clearly like what it at first appeared to be.

And it's like the, I think, I think that it probably is some ass covering happening from the New York Times just being like, yeah, we were ignoring this shit for a long time. Well, I think because nothing stands up to any kind of scrutiny. Like the second you look at it, you're like, oh, yo. Yeah. And again, that sort of lays bare the absolute failure of this country to bring anyone to justice, especially when it comes to stuff like these kinds of sexual crimes and assaults. Yeah.

And now it's like only because maybe there are other powerful people that could potentially think that this could make Trump less powerful that now that it matters. There's like just so many levels of like fucked up when you look at this thing. You're like, oh, my God, like people only care about it now because it could be a weapon, not because like as a legal case, you could have actually brought people to justice. Fine. Hey, anyway, America will swish swish. Let's talk about

Cold play gate. I mean, there's really nothing to see here Jack. I mean, let's just you know I feel like I've really turned a corner here in a woman Yeah, I think there was a fake that I saw a letter that he wrote I wasn't sure if it was real when he was quoting cold play at the end I'm like this, this smacks of like a dumb joke one. But then there was, it looked like the real one from astronomer doc or whatever.

There was like an impersonal statement from astronomer.com or astronomer, whatever. Yeah. astronomer.com. Whatever. That was like, you know, he didn't live up to our corporate standards of behavior and is resigning and also like he didn't release that statement where he was like, but Coldplay shouldn't be like putting people on blast like that. Yeah.

The heck Coldplay? What the fuck? But anyway, it, it did really seem to unite the country. Yeah. It that it was everywhere. It got like, it really was a flash in the pan kind of thing where it, like it got, it took on like near levels of like the energy that the sun radiates, like for a meme and then immediate just went, just like, just fizzled out after.

Yeah. Everyone is getting it on it. Not with certain people, with certain people, they're going to be making references to this for years. Yeah. Well, it takes time for it to reach the highest echelons of, of C suites. Or people go, Oh, this one's good. We can keep doing this for a year now.

Yeah. People who complain a lot about Mondays at work and stuff. I feel like they'll be like, still talking about this one. Did you see this? But yeah, I mean, so multiple sports teams, uh, introduced cold play cams instead of kiss cams, uh, the, in, in Philadelphia, the Philly fanatic, uh, recreated the moment and let like, they were busted by Kiss Cam. I hate to see it.

Somebody made a Coldplay Canoodlers video game in which you play the cameraman at the concert and you're just looking around trying to spot the couple. But it should be noted it was a shitty game that was vibe coded, meaning that AI did the actual coding. And then somebody was just like, it's. That's the most 20, 25 story of all time. Is someone made a shitty video game app with AI of the meme moment

that no one's going to give a fuck about in two weeks at most. But hey, yeah, vibe code that that thing man. Just vibe code that And then every pop culture fandom had had their own Kind of spin on it They had Peggy from King of the Hill Yeah, Peggy Hill, yeah, yeah bag of charcoal Not in this propane household Absolute shame that is that there was the fucking Trump and Epstein one too.

Yeah. That people put up. But like any online joke, it immediately became unfunny as soon as brands started doing it. Like I'll allow the MLB to do it because they kind of kicked off the kiss cam thing. Sure. Also, it's like it has they kind of kicked off the kiss cam thing. Sure. Also, it's like it has the energy of like local fans. And like, they did that in a game on it. Yeah.

Not like a, but not a shit post when brands start shit posting with it. That's when it becomes insufferable. I think I'm realizing it's starting to see it like with the, uh, you know, shout outs to the Mets broadcast and us being like, it's okay. When the MLB does it, it's starting to seem like we're part of the, uh, you know, shout outs to the Mets broadcast and us being like, it's okay when the MLB does it, it's starting to seem like we're part of the, that Simpson's conspiracy where it's like the world is run by major league baseball. Yep. Yep. Hey, don't look too, don't look too deep into it. Uh, but like companies like Ikea, uh, globe air, um, all tried to do, even Tesla tried to do God a shitty thing.

Good luck. Yeah. The the Tesla one was real sweaty. Posting a pic of you enjoying your loaner Tesla while your own one is in service is the equivalent of taking it to a Coldplay concert. Your car will know. Oh, shut up. Swish dunk shot. The the fuck up from way down fuck you even like I even saw clips and from subsequent shows where Chris Martin I was even like I relax Chris Martin like where he'd references like all right

we're gonna do a camera that's gonna come around now. I hope you know, just be warned. It's like yeah Thank you Apparently like their songs a bunch of their songs have entered the Spotify like top 50 chart people are just like alright. Oh Bite what is cold? Yeah, what is this cold play? Everyone's talking about the go. Hold on a wait a bite. What is cold? Yeah. What is this cold play? Everyone's talking about the go. Hold on. Wait a tick. Oh, OK. You know, that new song you've been looking for, that new sound you've been looking for. Can you imagine someone, some person in their like middle

ages discovering Coldplay now because of this and they go, Oh, my God. Honey, get in here. Have you wonder if they're going to show solidarity? Be like, get in here. Have you wonder if like CEOs are going to show solidarity? Be like, fuck Coldplay. Not cool. You guys not. No, this guy was, he was a startup CEO. He's not part of like the dynastic full on oligarch class yet.

You know what I mean? We're like, they'd all have each other's back. He's a sacrificial millionaire, I think in their eyes. The conspiracy goes all the way to the top. Yeah, it does. You don't think he was sacrificed at the altar of Epstein? Exactly. Come on. Private jet charter service, Globe Air reposted the viral clip by saying the quickest escape after a Coldplay concert and then featured a

Boston to Hawaii flight. Mm. With a. Our. That would. I feel like that's a flight that like sorted couple would actually take. Like they'd be like, let's just get. Look, your wife knows my partner.

Like, let's just go to Hawaii. Like we said, we are. Fuck it. That one's like just too realistic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Literally, we advertise to an audience of like three people.

Yeah, exactly. You get caught cheating. Are you a millionaire? You want to go to Hawaii right now to escape everything? Go ahead. Here, little bear. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back and talk about gerrymandering. The old, old fashioned political fuckery. Oh yeah. We'll be right back.

What's up guys. Oh yeah, we'll be right back. Peso Pluma, Los Alegris del Barranco, Ariel Camacho, or Ivan Cornejo, When You Gain Your Fields, then this podcast is for you.

Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps,

are short term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months.

The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to Shock Incarceration on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part? Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley,

sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February, 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911.

Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you, but then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We're back. And, you know, Trump seems like he is planning for there not to be a democracy around the

next time that he's up for election. Yeah. We don't know exactly how he's planning to pull it off. One favorite, one old standby of the Republican Party is, of course, gerrymandering. Just rat fucking. Yeah. Some form of rat fuckery, because we've heard about how there are people reaching out to states from the party to be like, we'd like to take a look at your voter data and machines. And you're like, oh boy, what are you, what are you, what are you up to over there?

And along with that, again, like to your point, everything is like, do the polls keep going down in any normal universe? You're like going to have to do something about that, because, you know, like elections that doesn't help you. It's kind of a democracy. So, yes, along with just the general like sort of voter suppression tactics that are going on, he's now called on states like Texas and four others to redistrict, do some redistricting to generate more Republican seats in the House.

And so on. I think we were talking earlier about how Trump was like, I've seen polls recently that I'm like 97%, 98% in some places. And I don't know if that's like, again, I don't know if that to me, do you think that's his, his staff showing him fake shit just to keep him from fully going off the rails? Like, he will have a cardiac event, if you show him any real polling, or he's gonna get so mad at us. It's not even worth my time. Just, just fucking Photoshop something that

says 99% approval, just we can get through the fucking day because he's not even worth my time. Just fucking Photoshop something that says 99% approval just so we can get through the fucking day because he's not going to remember it. I feel like he will take anything, right? You could just conduct a poll that was like you sent via email to 20 of your friends and he would take that as scientific. Yeah. He's like, oh, have you seen the latest Bazooka Joe polls, Mr. President? No, I haven't. Bazooka Joe, great American. Oh, have you seen the latest bazooka Joe polls, Mr. President? No, I haven't bazooka Joe Great American.

Oh, wow. 98% Very good. Very good. Let's keep this going. But anyway, again, like you said, there aren't any serious calls to upend the elections. So we need more seats. So Texas is actually beginning that process today in a special session of their state legislature where the agenda includes many other high priority items like flood warning systems. Yeah, that's probably yeah,

that's definitely something. Abortion. Yeah, abortion. Sure. And but I guess more in their sense to probably restrict access, sadly and quote, protecting women's privacy in sex segregated spaces. So they're doing they, they're really going after the real high top of the list kind of stuff. High priority stuff. Yeah. Um, but this whole call for adding seats has now sort of begun like a gerrymander race between states, Gavin Newsom's like, Oh, you rang, you want to fucking carve

up maps he's like, because we also have a very blue fucking majority in the state of California. We can also carve up some good eating if we're trying to add some more like safe seats to the mix. And as as of, you know, as it stands, there are other states like Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Washington

that are kind of like beginning to eye that sort of tactic? Is that what we're doing? Because we will do that. So it's just eventually just going to be like blue states are all blue districts, just like wild patterns. It's going to be a race to the bottom probably in that. They're like, if it's an arms race to just create more seats, sure.

And you know, the blue states tend to be more populous, populated than than others. So maybe they they're able to to seek an advantage there. But yeah, I don't know. Very it's just showing you they're like, oh, yeah, these are sort of like these like antebellum moves where they're like, oh, yeah, everything's nothing matters. Great. Fuck it. They're fucking these are made up seats, too, that we're going to create

just to create some majorities in the House. But yeah, that seems to be the easy solution to the tanking poll numbers right now is to just create more safe Republican seats so midterms are like- For the midterms. And then for the presidential election, TBD. TBD, maybe some kind of false flag, maybe some kind of overreaction to mundane events to then say we actually have to suspend all functions of the government. Yeah, we actually have a civil war happening right now because this building was attacked or something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like someone paint, someone egged it.

Someone egged the motorcade. That's it. Martial law. Jesus. Yeah, I mean, they're willing to go martial law right away. Drop of a hat. Oh, my God. Los Angeles and on on that fucking bridge over the weekend.

It's crazy. It's not. Yeah, it's they're they're looking for anything. But yeah, they will continue to find creative ways to try and offset their lack of performance. I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, they're they're definitely making everybody in the Federalist Society and all the, you know, Heritage Foundation, those people are loving it. But again, you know, maybe they can just figure out a way to nullify the will of people to continue the agenda. I have faith that they will do that.

I have faith that they will, yeah, find ways to skirt accountability. Is that being covered in the mainstream media? That like that is clearly the plan, like, you know, skate where the puck is going? Like, well, clearly this is what they're planning to do. Like, how might they do it? Yeah, because they're not going. How are we going to win back the voters? No, they're it's like, whatever. Fuck it. How do we nullify people's displeasure with what's happening here

and pretend like their vote still has some kind of impact? Yeah. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines where you still can. Get your flu shots.
